Local author signing books Saturday

Area author Virginia C. McKinzie will be signing copies of her new book "The Lady Who Lived in a Caboose" at Hastings from 1-3 p.m. Saturday.

This children's book — meant for all ages — is written in poem form and follows the travels of Millicent, who lives in a caboose.

When her neighbors express concerns over her abode, Millicent reminisces about why she loved living in a caboose, and decides she will take her home to the rails and travel. Along the way, she meets new friends and begins new adventures.
